The situation went into a lull for a mont due to the following connection.
Perhaps because everyone had expected that there would be no difficult journey, the users were sowhat annoyed by the sudden difficulty that arose.
“Kijung. What happened?”
“…Brother Hyein didn’t co back. “The limit has already been exceeded.”
“Hyein? no way! why?”
In the friends window below, Hyein’s location was only shown as a buoy.
However, it is still the 25th day since entering the waters of the Dragon Palace, and Hyein will be able to use teleportation in conjunction with Baylipus even if she only travels a day’s distance.
“Just go back for a day and burn it-”
“No. “The mana relay tower isn’t even finished.”
“what? still?”
When Team B’s Hyein was separated from Team A, Lee I, who was in the sea, had no idea what was going on.
“There was a problem when using mass teleportation. “I think we lost a lot of worker NPCs because we couldn’t secure distance and visibility.”
“Kikit, it’s still huge. Even though all the materials were intact, 11 out of 30 workers were lost. If it had been anyone else in that turbulent environnt, I probably wouldn’t have even gotten there. “There is no way any NPCs or materials remain.”
Just because the loss of manpower is 1/3, there is no way the work ti will increase by 1/3.
In the first place, the ti limit had no choice but to be exceeded, and the fatigue of the NPCs would certainly have gotten worse! Even though Hyein did her best to lead from the beginning, the limitations were clear.
It was only at the ti limit that we found out about this fact, and users were expressing conflicting opinions during the full day of Middle Earth.
Those who wanted to bring Hyein in, and those who said that they should focus on moving.
Since both had their own logic, it was not easy to co to a conclusion.
Below, I listened to their story slowly.
‘What the side that brought him here is claiming is the success of the remaining quests. But should we say that the problem with this is Hyein’s skilled giant workers? Only with them can we safely build the Mana Relay Tower in the New World. It is clear that Hyein’s skills are helpful in navigation…’
The third condition for clearing the quest.
Build at least one mana relay tower in the New Continent.
Even for that condition, the workers Hye-in has are absolutely necessary.
But what about the other side? It is argued that there is a possibility of failing all quests if one is greedy.
‘Even if you add in the estimated food that will be supplied through fishing during the voyage, as well as the giant albatross, it will barely be enough for 50 days. Of course, we don’t know how the estimate will change, and supply and demand may not be smooth, so we should use it sparingly. Now, then, how long is the expected navigation period?’
The distance was completely confird by combining the rmaids’ information and Fernand’s information.
The total voyage distance from the Old World to the New World is about 120 days at the speed of the New-Serpent and the Marlin.
Now entering the 68th day, the remaining voyage period is 52 days.
Of course, that’s if there are no problems. What if a quest or monster that takes up ti again appears on the way?
We don’t know what will happen to food limitations, which are already a problem.
Moreover, to bring Hyein back, it would take at least three days.
Even if you wait at a point that is 24 days away, it will take one day to return, another day or two to wait for the completion of the Mana Relay Tower there, and one day to return here again.
If you eat sparingly, you can barely survive 50 days, and you plan to spend at least 55 days with food that you haven’t even secured yet?
‘Rather than take on such an adventure, I understand that you want to finish by reaching the New Continent first.’
Because anyone can avoid the quest failure condition the mont they reach the new continent.
From a conservative perspective, it makes logical sense to abandon Hye-in.
“What do you think, Leeha?”
It was Alexander who approached Leeha, who was struggling.
He looked more peaceful than expected. Are you already drawing your own conclusions?
Anyway, the conclusion is one of two things.
“wait a minute.”
Lee Ha thought for a mont and opened the friends window.
Is there really only a choice between ‘I leave Hyein behind and go safely’ and ‘I take her with even if it ans taking risks’?
―Hyein!
-Ah, Leeha. I heard that the quest was successful. All I can say is that it’s amazing–
no, what I’m talking about right now is not important–how long has the construction progressed?
-Don’t worry, I will finish it even if it ans risking my life.
―Hehe, I’m not worried. Please tell how long it has been.
―You can definitely finish it within 48 hours.
-Two days. okay.
-yes? okay?
“Master Bailipus!”
“Is there another way?”
“Please fly as far as possible in the direction of the buoy. Maximize teleport distance. ah! Please do the waterproofing magic here again.”
Leeha was smiling as he carried Black Beth firmly on his shoulder.
I’ve been through it a few tis, so should I get used to it?
Not many people will be able to adapt to the following unexpected behavior.
“brother?”
“Mr. Leeha?”
“Kikit again?”
Ki Jeong, Xin Nara, and even Biyemi were still unable to understand Lee Ha’s thoughts.
“…I didn’t think I ca empty-handed from the rmaid Quest.”
“Hmph, you bastard. “He probably ate sothing alone again.”
At least Kid and Luger are the only ones who can be sarcastic about Leeha’s attitude. In so sense, the three musketeers might understand each other best.
“Can you do it?”
“You should try it first. Anyway, since I’ve ‘heard sothing’, I’d like to give it a try.”
“hmm. Bailipus.”
Alexander nodded and approved the following proposal.
“I will send you two days away.”
“That’s enough. Please keep moving in this direction. “I will take Hyein and the workers and chase after you.”
Golden mana was gathering in Bailipus’ body.
“Captain Drake says he’s not there, but the speed is not that easy, so how could Mr. Leeha-”
“Teleport.”
“-I can chase you…. Who am I talking to?”
Fernand tilted his head and looked in the direction where Lee Ha had disappeared. Users around couldn’t hold back their laughter and let out a sigh.
There is no law that tells you to choose A and B.
You always make your own path.
Lee, who knew this well, ca up with a reasonable and appropriate plan C first.
The boldness of offering gray to the question of black or white. How many people know that this is Lee Ha’s true power?
But you can believe even if you don’t know.
The mbers of the New World expedition thought that the following actions were ridiculous, but were looking forward to them.
The expectation is that Lee Ha will succeed with Plan C again.

“Here! “You have to tie up from here!”
The Giant who climbed to the top of the Mana Relay Tower shouted as he hit the iron plate. It was a task that should have taken two people, but now they were struggling alone.
“Please co here, just one person!”
“Lift it up! “One, two, huh!”
I shouted loudly, but no one ca forward. No, I couldn’t co forward.
Because everyone was already busy doing other things. The Giant’s arms, which were supporting the iron plate back and forth against the pillar, were trembling.
“here! We have to stop it from here- uh, uh, uh! Falling!?”
Kwiik profit…!
Will a safety accident eventually occur? The Giant tried to catch it, but the object was already falling down.
“damage-!”
“Wow?!”
“〈Space Grab〉!”
Crash!
***
The iron plate that fell on the giant worker’s head stopped in midair. Hyein held on tightly to the staff she had left on the floor and sighed.
“Ha… are you okay?”
“Thank you, Captain.”
“Are you still calling foreman? Phew… there are two of you! “Please put that aside for a mont and take this first.”
Hyein resolved the accident by giving instructions to the other giants.
I felt like I had failed by speeding up to et the ti limit, but now it was only a late regret.
‘I never thought there would be so many safety accidents… If there were no workers, it would have been safer and slower.’
Rather, as accidents continued and the number of injured increased, the schedule only stretched… It took Hyein painful trial and error to learn the aning of ‘slowest is fastest’ at construction sites.
The only consolation is that after a few days of leading the giant workers and leading the construction site, my intimacy with them increased, and I was called ‘Foreman’ and suddenly received an achievent.
“Pfft, I don’t know how much the strength and stamina achievents will help Seiji. Anyway…. Co on! Let’s take a break for a while! We can’t go back to the way we first decided. Let us do our duty here resolutely.”
“Understood, Captain!”
“foreman! “Can’t you be patient?”
“Isn’t it true that all the giants have everything nearby? “Take down that tree and eat the fruit.”
As Hyein smiled and joked, the Giants laughed heartily.
It wasn’t just a play on words. Hyein’s exchanges with NPCs who have already prepared for death are closer to a strong bond rather than a joke.
‘It will be completed in 6 hours. I can finally rest.’
The Giant NPC didn’t find Charm for nothing.
The food included in the materials in the first place was only three days’ worth. This is because after the last al on the 3rd day, the plan was to complete the project with all of one’s might for a day and imdiately return by teleportation on the 4th day.
After losing 11 people, we split the food and ate it until now, but as of now, on the 7th day, there wasn’t even any food left.
Hyein looked around at the giants lying around. It is said that it will be completed, but what will happen next?
‘I can’t go back anyway. If you just log out from here….’
you won’t be able to see that horrible scene. The giants here are starving to death.
But is it right to avoid it like that?
Even though he was an NPC, he was no different from a colleague who had been given the title of foreman by them and had been through the ups and downs for a week… When Hyein thought about it, she was startled.
‘Is this what I think?’
People often make the mistake of thinking that Seiji Hyein was a cool-headed analyst type user because of her docile face and scholar-like aura.
The caveat was that it was okay to ignore and kill NPCs that were of no further importance, let alone the lives of NPCs.
‘…Has it changed?’
I never thought I would think like this in Middle Earth.
However, Hyein had a vague sense of why she had changed. Aren’t there people who treat not only users but even NPCs in the ga as if they were one person?
‘If I had to make an excuse for myself… it’s also because treating and behaving like NPCs like people is a kind of ‘profit’. ‘Because I’ve seen him grow so much.’
However, now it was not because of ‘profit’. What benefit can there be in facing the poor NPCs who are dood to starve to death?
Hyein was embarrassed and tried to make an excuse, but she didn’t like it either. In the end, he had no choice but to acknowledge the people who influenced him.
‘It’s funny that this is all because of Leeha. ‘The shabby man I t near the capital who was Kay’s older brother has now beco one of the most special Middle Earth users.’
